how to disable touchpad on VPC-F11M1E?

I want to disable it at all and use only usb-connected mouse.

I am using Windows 7.

Tried some google-ways, but nothing :slight_frown:

You can disable/enable the touch pad while a mouse is connected to your computer.

To change the touch pad settings, use the VAIO Control Center. You will find this in Control Panel.
Be sure to connect a mouse before disabling the touch pad. If you disable the touch pad before connecting a mouse, you will be able to use only the keyboard for pointer operations.

I don't have any mouse-like menu or option in my Vaio control center, there is just "System Information" only.

Are you signed on as an Administrator?

There should be several sections in Vaio Control Centre - are you using the original operating system?  Have you deleted any Vaio functions?

Have a look at Page 33 of your User Guide: -

It would seem that Vaio Control Centre does not work properly after changing the OS.  I presume you did a clean install?

Have you reinstalled ALL the drivers and utilities?

You may have to resort to the 'Google' suggestions - have you tried disabling the touchpad in Device Manager?

Yes, reinstalled OS 1 more time, installed Vaio Control Center and got the same.

I've installed ALPS pointing device driver (got some tweaks in control mouse panel), but there is no 'touchpad', just mouse.
